Dublin San Ramon Services District Capacity Reserve Fees
Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) provides potable water distribution services to the City of Dublin. New connections to DSRSD’s water distribution system represent an increase in demand for water distribution services. DSRSD code requires that this demand be assessed in the form of a capacity reserve fee (formerly known as a connection fee) payable to DSRSD upon final map recordation and issuance of a water line construction permit. Customers are purchasing capacity in the DSRSD water distribution system. Fees are based on meter size.

REGIONAL WASTEWATER FEE INSTALLMENT PROGRAM
   
  If you are a new affordable residential, commercial, industrial or institutional customer of DSRSD, a payment program may be available to you. DSRSD is assisting the cities within its service area with their efforts to attract new restaurants, businesses, and affordable housing. New residential, commercial, industrial, and school customers normally must pay a regional sewer capacity reserve fee in advance. This fee varies depending on the amount of wastewater discharged and its strength. The installment payment program spreads payment of the regional capacity reserve fee up to a period of 10 years for those meeting the program's requirements.

In order to qualify for the program, you must be a new affordable residential, commercial, industrial, or institutional customer of DSRSD. Also, the regional portion of your wastewater capacity reserve fees must be between $25,000 - $100,000. Capacity reserve fees, formerly known as connection fees, are assessed to new customers before approval is granted for construction of new facilities or before allowing connection to the sewer system. Regional fees are based on estimated volume and strength of wastewater discharge. Local fees are based on estimated volume of wastewater discharge.
Businesses that participate in the deferred payment program will be required to:
  • Install an individual water meter on the portion of property that is covered under this program, so that interior water consumption may be measured.
  • Provide a 20% down payment of the regional fee, pay an up-front administrative fee of $2,660, and pay 100% of the local fees.
  • Agree to pay the remaining balance in equal monthly installments plus 5% per annum interest for a term not exceeding 10 years.
  • Enter into a standard agreement with the District that will be recorded against the property record of the parcel where the business is to be located. The standard agreement must be signed by the fee title property owner.
If you have additional questions about this program, please call (925) 875-2258.
